Linear Buckling Analysis

In the present paper the non-linear buckling analysis of functionally graded spherical shells subjected to external pressure is investigated. The material properties are graded in the thickness direction according to the power-law distribution in terms of volume fractions of the constituents of the material. In the formulation of governing equations geometric non-linearity in all strain-displacement relations of the shell is considered. Using Bubnov-Galerkin's method to solve the problem an approximated analytical expression of non-linear buckling loads of functionally graded spherical shells is obtained, that allows easily to investigate stability behaviors of the shell.

Method Of Solution

Instability of compound cup-end cylindrical shells under uniform external pressure is studied. Nonlinear differential equations governing the large axisymmetric deformations of shells of revolution which ensure the unique states of lowest potential energy of the shells under a given pressure are solved. The method of solution is multisegment integration, developed by Kalnins and Lestingi, for predicting the mode of buckling and the critical pressure of these compound shells. Results show that, when simple cylindrical and spherical shells which develop the same membrane stress under pressure are used as a compound cup-end cylindrical shell, buckling takes place in the cylinder portion, near the cup-cylinder junction, at loads a few times higher than the buckling load of conventional dome-cylinder shells.

In this study non-linear thermal buckling of circular shallow arches made of functionally graded materials subjected to a linear temperature gradient is investigated. For this purpose, a functionally graded circular shallow arch is considered that its strain-displacement relation follows the Donnells nonlinear shallow shell theory. The material properties are varied smoothly through the arch thickness according to the power law distribution of the volume fraction of constituent materials. Also, material properties are considered temperature-dependent. The classical single layer theory assumptions that are reasonable for slender arches are implemented. To investigate the large deformations of such arch, the von-Karman type geometrical nonlinearity is utilized that is suitable for moderately large class of rotations. The virtual displacement principle and calculus of variation are employed to derive the governing equilibrium equations and complete set of boundary conditions of the FGM arch. The adjacent equilibrium criterion is employed for the stability analysis of the FGM arch. An analytical approach is accomplished and a closed-forms solution for thermal bifurcation points of the FGM shallow arches is presented. Also critical bifurcation loads corresponding to the critical temperatures with the presence of non-linear pre-buckling deformations is obtained. Illustrative results examine the effect of various involved parameters such as power law index, opening angle, geometric parameter (or otherwise length to thickness ratio). Obtained numerical results represent that, in most cases, thermal bifurcation for the FGM arches occurs in the high temperatures and the critical buckling temperatures are approximately high even for slender FGM arches. Also effective of ceramic or metal rich area at the bottom surface of the FGM arch is investigated and results are presented for both cases and are compared together. Varieties between this two cases due to contrast between material and structural stretching-bending coupling effect. Results presented illustrative the ceramic rich area at the bottom surface cause the higher critical buckling temperatures for the FGM arches.

Abstract Previously, the buckling behavior of several conical and spherical shells have been studied with great rigor. In this paper, snap-through buckling behavior for metallic dished shells under uniform external pressure is investigated. These shells are geometrically complex since they consist of a shallow conical frustum with a flat closed top. Such shells find many engineering applications, for instance as actuator elements in control components in cryogenic engines. Currently, no clear guidelines exist for design performance evaluation of such peculiar shells. This paper aims to establish a valid FE methodology for snap-through buckling and post-buckling analysis of such shells using abaqus in tandem with experiments. A parametric study is carried out to understand the effect of geometrical parameters and imperfection sensitivity of these shells to snap-through buckling. Moreover, experiments were carried out using 3D Digital Image Correlation (3D-DIC) for measuring whole-field deflection and strains. Numerical analysis was carried out, using generalized Eigen value analysis and non-linear analysis using a modified-Riks technique with various material models to correlate with the experimental observations. Non-linear elasto-plastic analysis with a perfectly elastic-plastic material model agrees well with the experimental observations. A comparison of experimental results with that of the numerical study indicates that material plasticity has a major effect on critical buckling pressure.
